Geographically widespread and novel hemotropic mycoplasmas and bartonellae in Mexican free-tailed bats and sympatric North American bat species by Daniel J. Becker, Kristin E. Dyer, Lauren R. Lock, Beckett L. Olbrys, Shawn A. Pladas, Anushka A. Sukhadia, Bret Demory, Juliana Maria Nunes Batista, Micaela Pineda, Nancy B. Simmons, Amanda M. Adams, Winifred F. Frick, M. Teague O'Mara, Dmitriy V. Volokhov

“…ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens remain poorly characterized in bats, especially in North America. We describe novel (and in some cases panmictic) hemoplasmas (10.1% positivity) and bartonellae (25.6% positivity) across three colonies of Mexican free-tailed bats (Tadarida brasiliensis), a partially migratory species that can seasonally travel hundreds of kilometers. …”
